PC build for a friend about £800 the case he has chosen is nzxt phantom black, my friend does not need a monitor mouse keyboard and a os. he would also like a ssd and a lot of storage for movies and game. he does not do a lot of gaming but would like a resonable graphics card because he plays the odd game.

A bit over but well worth it in my opinion.

It's just free little vibrating toy.

viabrating what are msi trying to do.

benthehen8989 · 10 Jul 2011 at 19:11

to make it a bit cheaper my friend will probaly only need a gtx 460 and a 1tb hard drive because he already has 2 external 1tb hard drives.

thanks again for your help

Jony27 · 10 Jul 2011 at 19:25

i would probably just take andy's spec but change the SSD to the Crucial M4 as a lot of people have complained about BSODs using OCZ.
the PSU to the antec high current 620w which is on offer.
and the things you stated above.

benthehen8989 · 10 Jul 2011 at 19:30

ok i think a 60gb ssd would also be enough because he would only need it for os and start up programs. and with that psu it should bring the total below £800

^^
why have a non-"K" CPU with a P67 board?
and a Sli/Crossfire board witha 530w PSU?
i would go for Reaper's latest spec.

Mis quoted the Cpu, should have been:
